How does colorism impact people from different cultures? How can we have productive conversations about colorism with our family, friends, students, or coworkers? How can we start to solve this problem and start to heal from colorism?

Whether you use this book for your own personal discovery or share it with others as a way to spark conversation, anyone who reads this collection will find inspiration and insight for addressing colorism. This book is especially recommended for Black and Brown teenage girls and the adults who care about them.

The Colorism: Essays & Poems anthology features the best writing submitted to the 2017 Colorism Healing Writing Contest. Representing diverse voices, ages, languages, ethnicities, and styles, this collection offers a global picture of colorism's impact on individual lives.
